PRINTERS GALLEYll SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.423,156, dated March 11, 1890.

Application iiled April 24, 1889. Serial No. 308,435. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that we, LEoNIDAs ROBERT I-Ioss and ABRAHAM DRYDEN Hoss,both of Deer Lodge City, inthe county of Deer Lodge and State ofMontana, have invented a new and Improved Printers Galley, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to printers galleys, the object of the inventionbeing to provide a galley which shall be so constructed that the use oflocking-strips and quoins will be entirely dispensed with; and to theend named the invention consists of a galley provided with a foldingstrip, arranged as Will be hereinafter fully described, and specificallypointed out in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar figures and letters of referenceindicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective View ofl our iinproved printers galley. Fig. 2is a plan view of a portion of the galley, parts being broken away. Fig.3 is a sectional view of a portion of the galley, the folding stripbeing represented as it appears When moved into a position to bearagainst the column of type. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view on line Qc:c of Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 is a sectional detail view on line y y of Fig.3. Y

In the drawings, represents the galleybody, which is provided with fixedside fian ges 11 and 11a. The side flange 11 is formed with a series ofrecesses a, within which there are hinged the outer members oftoggle-levers 12, the other inemberso'f the said levers being hinged toa strip 13, that is guided at one end by a projection '15, that rides ina dovetail groove formed in the end iiange 16 of the galley. Althoughthe pintles upon which the toggle-levers 12 are mounted might besupported rigidly Within the recesses a, We prefer to connect thetoggles to heavy springs 17, as by so doing We provide for the holdingof the strip 13 in yielding contact with the column of type placed inthe galley.

In operation, when the type is placed Within the galley, the parts areadjusted as represented in Fig. 2. Then the strip 13 is moved outwardand the toggle-levers adjusted to the position in which they are shownin Figs. 1, 3, and 11. In this way We provide for the locking of thetype Within the galley and overcome the necessity of using lockingstrips and quoins.

Although not positively essential, We prefer to provide spring-catchesn, which engage the strip 13 and hold said strip in its closed position,the catches being depressed to release'
